Pfc. Petty of Idaho Falls, Idaho made it his mission to look out for others. When he was 10 years old, his father remembers, he beat up neighborhood bullies who were picking on other children. In high school, he screened his little sisters' suitors to make sure they were good people. Jerrick grew up in Hawthorne, Nev. He was the middle child of five and the only boy. He had an awesome sense of humor and always a smile kind of glint in his eye. He was working in construction and at a McDonald's in Idaho Falls, Idaho, but joined the Army to earn more money to support his young family. He is survived by his wife, Tiffany, daughter and son. He was 25.
